Manchester United have accepted an offer from FC Utrecht for Zidane Iqbal.
Sources have told the Manchester Evening News that the bid made by the Eredivisie outfit, believed to be around €1million, has been accepted by United. Iqbal completed a medical on Monday and is set to sign a four-year deal with the Dutch side, calling time on an 11-year spell with the club.
The 20-year-old had been named in the matchday squad 17 times this season but failed to make an appearance under Erik ten Hag. Iqbal changed agents recently, signing with Sports Entertainment Group – the same agency as Ten Hag – who promised him a move to the Eredivisie.
The midfielder joined United’s academy in 2012, working his way through the age groups before signing his first professional deal in April 2021.
He went on to make his first-team debut in January of last year, coming off the bench in United’s Champions League group stage game against Young Boys – his only senior club appearance to date.
Iqbal played just 13 times for the under-21s this season due to his involvement with the first-team squad, and he is now set to join up with FC Utrecht as he goes in search of regular first-team football.
